Chicago, Aug. 17. — Absolute proof
that Henry Hering, cashier of the
wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank,
was financial backer of a bookmaking
syndicate which laid odds on horse­
races, was brought to light late today,
when Inspector Shippy found a check
made payable to Harry M. Smith, who
for years ran the Buffet at 56 South
8tate street, and whose place was closed
this spring, because of running a hand­
book, that handbook being none other
than that run by the syndicate headed
by Hering, but whose name never ap­
peared as connected with it until to­
day. Other men in the syndicate were
Charles Francis, Thomas Rowe, Walter
Frantzen, Harry Thorpe and Henry
Troy.
A ll these men were interviewed by
the inspector and all admitted that
they were connected with the book, but
denied that they knew Hering was con­
nected with any bank, and said that he
represented that he was a wealthy
man, and that he wanted to increase
his wealth by separating “ a few suck­
ers from their loose change.”

Harriman Secures Railroad
by Jam es J. Hill.
C oveted
New York, Aug. 17.— I t can be au­
th oritatively stated that control of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail­
road has passed into the hauds of E.
H . Harriman, via the Southern Pacific
Railroad company, which is controlled
by the Union Pacific Railroad com­
pany, the main Harriman concern. A
rumor to the effect that Harriman
sought to own the St. Paul property
has been heard on various occasions of
late, but not until today could it be
learned from a competent authority
that there was good foundation for the
report.
As a railroad deal this purchase of
the St. Paul by Harriman is more re­
markable than the coup by which he
recured the Illin ois Central control
nearly a year ago. Harriman had for
years been an important factor in the
Illin ois Central management, but until
now he has never been mentioned in
connection with St. Paul.
The present deal is also interesting
from the fact that in 1900 James J .
H ill, Harrim an’ s arch enemy in the
railroad arena, made strenuous efforts
to purchase the St. Paul, but was re­
fused control by the same Standard O il
interests which with willingness turned
the propertv over to Harriman.

London, Aug. 17. — Tne Tribune’ s
Warsaw correspondent telegraphs a de­
scription of the scenes witnessed by
him after the disturbances Wednesday.
‘ ‘ The hospital surgeons, fatigued by
their labors,” he says, ‘ ‘ were unable
to attend to cases, and wounds regarded
as fatal were left to take their course.
‘ ‘ The scenes in the morgues were
horrible. In one I counted 32 civilian
bodies, all dirty and dressed as they
fell.
“ The people have grown callous
with too much death. I heard a young
g irl laugh heartily at tbe sight of a
woman whose brain-pan had been torn
off by a bomb.
“ In one hospital I saw a youth who,
hen bayoneted yesterday,
feigned
death. The soldiers trod over him and
their heavy boots crushed his fingers
to a pulp, but be successfully stood the
ordeal. He was carried to the morgue,
when it was discovered he was alive.
H e is now progressing favorably.
“ Last night resulted in an orgie of
blood in tbe Jewish quarter. The num­
ber of persons clubbed or bayoneted ex­
ceeds three hundred.
“ The morgues are crowded with
dead.
The bodies were arrayed io
rows, the clothes dirty with the filtn
of the streets where they fe ll. No
effort was made to do more than pile
tbe corpses in morgues, and very little
has been done towards indentifying
them. Relatives and friends of those
who lost their livee are fearful of
brutal treatment at the hands of tbe
authorities if they vis it the morgues.”

Lacking but a few days o f 90 years
ot age, Russell Sage passed away at hla
summer home at Lawrence, I-ong Isl­
and. F or two or three years his health
had been falling, owing to bis extreme
age, and for half a year he had not

l ^ t e d a summer ln the country would
restore him to vigor. So long ?s he
retained consciousness he thought he
was gaining In health and he planned
on celebrating his birthday anniversary
as usual. Death came quietly after a
period o f coma and was solely due to
his accumulated years.
W ith the death o f “ Uncle Russell”
Sage there passed away the greatest
private money lender In the world, a
man who fo r many years has had from
$25,000,000 to $50,000,000 In cold cash
constantly lent out at good Interest,
most o f It on call loans. No other man
la the world possessed as much cash
capital as did he, but be also had great
Invested wealth, principally In ra il­
roads. It had been -thought that his
death would create a panic on W all
street, owing to the money he had loan­
ed, but he considerately had made pro­
vision that in case o f his death there
should be no sudden call for the loans.
Russell Sage started out as a poor
boy controlled by a dread o f the pov­
erty which he saw all about him and
letem ilned that he would become a rich
man. Debt was a thing he abhorred, a
weakness which he knew was the curse
of men who otherwise would have been
successful and happy.

The peasant woman o f Egypt, the
poor, putlent creature who through the
weary length o f centuries, through the
vicissitudes and tragedies o f dynasties,
rulers and queens, remains, like the
sphlux, unchanged, is presented to the
public ln the Fortnightly R eview as the
mother o f
rejuvenated Egypt, “ the
Egypt that w ill he born not bond, but
free.”
Already one o f her race— the
beautiful Thewflda--has become mother
of the Khedive, and from other peasant
mothers, say* the writer. W alter F.
M levllle, great tons are destined to be
born.

A t the present time, however, there
appears to be few signs o f greatness

Her very name, fellaha, means to plow
or till, and from her earliest years she
la accustomed to drudgery.
“ In the close season,” says Mr. Mle-
vllle, “ peasant baby girls are posted as
sentinels over the horses and cattle
tethered In the vividly green barseem
fields. Active little maidens carry d i­
minutive hods or baskets o f mortar or
bricks when building operations are la
progress, or are sent to destroy cater­
pillars when they threaten to destroy
tire crops. The bigger girls In time o f
wheat harvest Join with the older wom­
en ln field labor, which is very fa ­
tiguing.
As a w ife and mother the
wearisome occupations o f the peasant
woman’s day begins w ith her house­
hold duties, the washing, scouring, bak­
ing and cooking; then comes her mod­
est marketing, Hnd much time also la
given to her dusky little cherubs, the
children who, when small, tread only
on her skirts, but who, when they come
to man's estate, o ft trample on her
heart, ln the Intervals of housework
there Is even labor ln the fields ready
to her hand.
The fundamental fact that she Is do-
strshle solely on account o f her sex le
dinned Into the fellaha's esrs from g irl­
hood ; her upbringing holds out to her
no other gonl than m arrlnge; her broth­
ers early learn a sensual attitude to­
ward all womankind. From pecuniary
necessity, a fellah's means not permit­
ting o f his taking unto himself manyr
wives, polygamy does not obtain exten­
sively among the peasantry, but the
woman who falls to bear children Is

and she meddles not even In village

She Is not even expected to have nny

whose celestial breath she feels In the

are not obligatory for her as for men,
